💡 Care Tip: Unwrap the plants as soon as they arrive and inspect the roots. If they appear dry or shriveled, soak them in room-temperature water for 30 minutes to 2 hours, then let them air-dry before potting. Use a container with drainage holes and well-draining soil. Wait 3–5 days before the first watering, then gradually introduce the plants to their preferred sunlight over about a week. Some wilting or leaf drop during the first few weeks is normal after shipping.
